13. F2012
• Start of our major OER
implementation
• OER materials published through
local publisher
• Sold in bookstore
14. Challenges
• Not enough workbooks were being
ordered
• Students were having to wait for
workbooks
• Students were not allowed to preorder workbooks
• Bookstore markup (40%ish) still
applies
15. Adjustment for Spring 2013
• Met with bookstore and publisher
reps
• Bookstore agreed to order more
books if publisher would guarantee
returns of unused copies
• Bookstore markup (40%ish) still
applies
16. Recommendations
• Communicate early with bookstore and
involve them in planning
• Help them understand goals of OER
and how they can be a part of helping
students
• Be willing to compromise (i.e. 40%
markup remained in place) to help them
meet their bottom line
• Touch base with them each semester to
keep communication lines open

18. Collaborating with the
campus Bookstore
Collaborative Statistics
• 1994 – 2007: for profit text;
– $38 bookstore cost; $50 student cost
• #1 text sold at college in terms of quantity
• 2008 – 2014: OER text
– with hard copy purchase option
• First open textbook used at college
19. Logistics: 2008+
• Met with Bookstore manager:
– Ordering hard copies for faculty
• limited desk copies available from a grant
• added <$1 to each hard copy cost sold to cover faculty,
library, tutoring center copies
– Expected great loss of sales
• Initially sales went up, students used print copy as workbook
• Each year more students using only online or pdf versions
– QOOP/Lulu cost under $30 for direct purchase
– 15-20 % Discount for Bookstore ordering in volume
– Bookstores still charge markup 24-28%
20. Outcomes
PROS
• Still #1 text sold on
campus in terms of
quantity
• Still good relations with
Bookstore
• Reduced cost to
students
• Saved students > $1m
CONS
• Decreased sales at
decreased price.
